Lentil Moussaka

Cultural Context

Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish, often made with layers of eggplant and meat, but this vegetarian version substitutes lentils for a hearty, plant-based alternative. It reflects the Mediterranean's emphasis on vegetables and legumes, making it a staple in many Greek households. Today, variations of moussaka can be found around the world, adapting to local tastes while maintaining its comforting essence.
